For the Croissants

For the Whipped Ricotta
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta Essential for richness.
  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese Adds creaminess; can substitute with more ricotta.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste or Extract For flavor; extract can be a substitute.
For the Burnt Honey Caramel
  • 1/2 cup High-quality Honey For the rich caramel.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Baking Sheet
  • Piping bag
  • Saucepan

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine the whole milk ricotta, cream cheese, and vanilla bean paste. Blend until smooth and fluffy, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  2. Preheat your broiler on high. Slice the croissants in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Broil for about 1-2 minutes until they are lightly golden brown.
  3. Place each toasted croissant half on a serving plate. Using the piping bag, pipe the whipped ricotta generously across the top of each croissant.
  4. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt unsalted butter until it starts bubbling and turns a light amber color. Add honey and allow it to bubble for about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once the burnt honey is ready, carefully drizzle it over the whipped ricotta on the croissants.
  6. Sprinkle lavender flowers and fresh thyme leaves over the top to finish.
